2018 Kingston Town Classic form guide and tips

Scored a win in the Group 1 Mackinnon Stakes last start and that form is tough to go past. Unwanted for the Cox Plate, Trap For Fools proved punters wrong by beating a truly international field at Flemington.

This race is significantly easier and he carries the same 59kg in which he carried in the Mackinnon. That bodes well for this and he’s a massive play at the odds.

Third behind Galaxy Star in the Group 1 Railway Stakes last start and that’s good enough form to be considered for this.

The seven-year-old had been running well prior to that, winning his last four starts and although not suited by the weight-for-age weights, he could be around the mark and have an impact on the place-bearing positions.

We expected more from the Victorian last start but eighth in the Railway Stakes could be good enough form to see him contend here.

His form in Melbourne was good, which included consecutive wins at Caulfield and Moonee Valley. He was also good enough to win three straight races at Flemington and this Ascot track isn’t too dissimilar.

Winner of the Railway Stakes last start and the 10-time winner is one of the better horses in this field, but she will have to give his stablemate 7kg.

After running second to kick off this preparation, she has rebounded with two quality wins and if she can handle the rise in weight from 53kg to 57kg, she’s a real threat and the $4.60 could look silly post-race.

Winner of four of her five starts and she didn’t look tested against easier company in the W.A. Guineas last start.

Her biggest attribute is the weight of 50kg, which is a significant weight advantage for the favourite. The three-year-old filly has yet to take on a field of this class, however, and that’s the big worry but we can’t overlook her chances at the weights.
